The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, September 28, 2021

Dear John,

An article in the September issue of Health Affairs discusses food
insecurity among health care workers in the US.

Food Insecurity Among Health Care Workers In The US

Mithuna Srinivasan and coauthors analyzed national survey data to
investigate food insecurity

among health care workers in the US.

They found that, across health care occupational categories, 6.6 percent
of health care workers reported experiencing food insecurity in the past
month, with the highest rates seen among workers in nursing and
residential care facilities.

Specifically, in these facilities, "health care support workers had
9.8 times greater odds of food insecurity and health technologists and
technicians had 5.8 times greater odds of food insecurity compared with
health care practitioners."

For more on food insecurity, revisit a recent episode of the This Week

podcast in which Health Affairs editors discussed the latest on the
average Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit, which
is set to increase in October.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, David Shulkin, former secretary of the US
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), explains that the VA system is well
positioned to explore therapies

to treat posttraumatic stress.

Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: In a 2016 research article,
José Manuel Aburto, Hiram Beltrán-Sánchez, Victor Manuel
García-Guerrero, and Vladimir Canudas-Romo found that an unprecedented
rise in homicides in Mexico reversed life expectancy gains

for men and slowed them for women between 2000 and 2010.

Health Affairs is planning a theme issue on racism and health, with an
emphasis on structural racism, to be published in February 2022. We plan
to publish approximately 20 peer-reviewed articles-including original
research, analyses, commentaries, and Narrative Matters-from a diverse
group of researchers, scholars, community health leaders, analysts, and
health care stakeholders, among others.

We envision that the theme issue would include other novel elements such
as art, poetry, and multimedia components. As part of our commitment, we
will launch a video component alongside the research to set the
foundation of the issue, introduce an interactive element to the
research, and reach new audiences who do not currently read Health
Affairs.

We encourage interested applicants to respond to our Request For
Proposals, due October 1, 2021.
